Top Architecture Firms in Singapore

Did you know that there are more than 2,000 architects on the register of architects in Singapore? For a small and densely-populated country like Singapore, that is certain quite a number of architects. And perhaps for a good reason.

Who are architects?

Architects are broadly defined as an individual who plans, designs, and oversees the construction of buildings or structures on a public or private landscape. They typically focus on both the aesthetics and technical aspects of the building’s or structure’s design.

Understanding the architecture scene in Singapore

Given that Singapore is a small country with lack of land space, one has to be creative and innovative when designing buildings and infrastructures in our sunny island. It is therefore not surprising to find some of the region’s talented architects here in Singapore.

Singapore’s lack of land means that most residential spaces have to be built upwards – think of our HDB flats and Build-To-Order (BTOs). However, Singapore is also home to some of the region’s most dazzling bungalows, also commonly known as Good Class Bungalows.

What are the various branches of architecture?

Most people have this misconception that architects work on any projects that they take on. However, similar to a university degree where you may focus on a particular field or specialisation, the same apply for architects as well.

Here are some of the common branches of architecture in the architecture world:

Residential

Residential architects specialise in designing or procuring homes or home extensions. They typically work closely with private clients or real estate developers to curate stylish yet functional homes for homeowners. These architects often manage the end-to-end spectrum of the architectural service, from development of the design brief and home’s blueprint through to management of the construction works.

Given that residential architectural projects tend to be quite huge in scope, a lot of time investment is required in terms of managing the client’s expectations. While residential architects typically have more freeplay when it comes to the design and concept of the home or structure, their designs may sometimes be constrained by local building laws and neighbourhood restrictions.

Commercial

A commercial architect is someone that is skilled in designing and working on non-residential buildings, such as shopping malls, art galleries, offices, or hotels. These architects are usually skilled in designing buildings that are functional and practical, with its “success” determined by how the public uses and interacts with it. 

Besides having exceptional design skills, commercial architects will also need to have a comprehensive understanding of commercial building codes as well as safety regulations or even surrounding road traffic.

Green / Sustainable Design

Buildings, whether it is residential or commercial, are huge contributors to greenhouse gas emissions globally. With the increased focus on how these buildings and structures are negatively impacting the environment, sustainable architecture is rapidly gaining traction today.

Sustainable design architects specialise in creating and delivering environmental-friendly as well as energy efficient buildings. They are well versed in the best sustainable products and green building methods and have to be innovative in terms of weaving in these green features into a functional yet visually appealing building. These architects often have to work closely with the various stakeholders including procurement and construction works to ensure that the materials and components used are deemed environmentally friendly.

Urban

Urban architects are those that have a keen interest in town or city planning. They typically focus on a whole area instead of an individual building or structure. These architects can either focus on improving an existing town, or develop completely new cities or towns. Urban architects have to use their expertise to decide how the town should be planned out depending on the needs and characteristics of the community – looking at commercial and residential sectors, public areas, and overall infrastructure.

Industrial

Industrial architects focus on designing facilities or buildings where functionality and process are of utmost importance. They are the ones that design facilities such as warehouses, factories, power plants, transport hubs and more. Hence, industrial architects need to have a thorough understanding of what the building’s inputs and outputs are in order to design and develop an appropriate facility that is specifically intended for its particular purpose. They need to have a comprehensive understanding of how various processes, machinery, equipment, or other requirements translate into the building’s design.

Restoration

Over time, buildings and structures are subjected to wear and tear due to the external environmental elements. This is where restoration architects come in, supporting in the repairing, maintaining, and restoring of protected and historic buildings. They often work with buildings such as museums or residential properties that hold historical interest such as the Istana.

Housing

Housing architects are similar to residential architects, in which they both focus on building homes. However, housing architects often focus on delivering residential schemes of several houses instead of designing and conceptualise one individual residential property. They are often responsible for developing the master plan of a residential site as well as the individual plan layout of each home. This is fairly common in Singapore, where HDB-flats are fairly common given the lack of land space.

In coming up with the mast plan for the residential site, housing architects need to be familiar with the area’s accessibility, public space, infrastructure and the mix of surrounding housing types.

Interior Design

Not to be focused with interior designers, interior architects are involved in both the decor of the interior space as well as the structural components of how the design will take shape. Most residential and commercial properties typically offer empty shell spaces for homeowners and tenants. Hence, this is where interior architects come in – to convert a blank space into a habitable and functional environment.
